<h1>CVS: Merge Conflicts Resolver</h1>
<a name="BEGIN" id="BEGIN"></a>
<p>The Merge Conflicts Resolver enables you to resolve conflicts between local copies of version-controlled files and the repository before committing them. 
<object classid="java:org.netbeans.modules.javahelp.BrowserDisplayer">
<param name="content" value="http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=nb8200&id=NBDAG2379">
<param name="text" value="<html><u>How?</u></html>">
<param name="textFontSize" value="medium">
<param name="textColor" value="blue">
</object>
</p>
<p>The Merge Conflicts Resolver displays the two conflicting revisions side by side in the top pane, with the conflicting areas highlighted. You resolve a conflict by accepting one of the revisions being displayed.</p>

<p>Click the Accept button of the revision you want to accept. The IDE merges the accepted revision with the source file. You can see the results of the merge in the bottom pane of the Merge Conflicts Resolver.</p>
<p>Once all conflicts are resolved, click OK to exit the Merge Conflicts Resolver and save the modified file. The Merge Conflict badge is removed from the file and you can now commit the modified file to the repository.</p>
